Hello,I am a real estate investor located to Southeast MA, I own and manage a small portfolio of 23 units and am looking to expand and scale out of state as the returns and market have been quite difficult in my area: due to CAP Rates, specific building class I am looking to invest in, and rising interest rates/minimal inventory, as well as it would be nicer to be diversified and in a more landlord friendly state.  

It offers a user-friendly interface, robust automation features, and solid reporting that many find invaluable.

I will be managing and will be paying a real estate agent friend to show the properties for me.

oh, and since we are in Western Washington state, it is very expensive and tenant friendly.

Low barrier of entry, landlord friendly and you can find deals that cashflowI agree with @Patrick Drury about Columbus.

Over the years, with personal investment alongside investments from family and friends, I’ve been able to build a small portfolio of apartment buildings with a focus on cash flow through strong operations.

Before listing the property, we were using it for ourselves and our family and friends.

A friend and I created one recently:https://drive.google.com/file/...It was meant to compare costs between different lenders, but you can use it to just see costs from one lender as well.

Your banker should be your friend and partner.  

@Bradley Buxton makes a very good point to make sure to do your due diligence as you won't be an owner occupant like your in-laws.Last bit of advice: Because this is a friendly deal, you want to take your time to make sure you structure it in a way that maximizes tax and cashflow benefits for both parties.
